Whatever RJJ does in the ring these days he always looks in shape.

Who are all these fat bullets?

1. Dustin Nichols. He's actually gained a load of weight since this fight.

2. Can't remember his name but he's actually the DAD of the guy hitting him, who is Harry Duiven. He trained his son and an opponent pulled out at late notice so he filled the vacancy!

3. Akebono, a former sumo wrestler who for some reason thought he'd do well in a striking sport, and had a few K1 matches.

Carl Thompson always looked in good nick when he boxed. Robin Reid too.

Mike Weaver and David Haye are others that spring to mind, along with Eubank. Nigel Benn was usually pretty chiseled too back in the day.

Excluding Arnie & Stallone from the list, I've always been more impressed with the physique of a boxer's, than a bodybuilder's body.

Ali in the 60s seemed to be a physically perfect heavyweight athlete assembled by scientists.

Bruno, Haye and the Klits tend to go too far onto the Mr Universe side of things, which always seems to create a stiff, heavy boxers who need to fight at a slow pace.

Vitali isn't built like a bodybuilder, Wlad is much bulkier and muscular. Vitali is pretty lean, look at his weight for his size, not that heavy at all in the 240-255 range for someone so big.

for me its mike tyson in all his fights his never looked fat and in the mid 90's he was huge

Mike Weaver.
Holyfield ( a better version of Norton, and im not including Bruno as he didnt have a "bodybuilders physique , he looked too blocky and didnt have any lats and wide hips)

Hearns circa 1985
Robin reid
Charles brewer
Bonecrusher smith circa 87
Michael Watson

When Tyson came out of prison in 95 he looked shredded. Wlad also has a good frame for a big fella. Haglar was awesome too!

Robin Reid had just about the best "bird pulling body" I've ever seen. Despite what the magazines tell you, most women are repulsed by the physiques of huge bodybuilders and guys that are ripped to the extent of Tim Bradley. Reid had it just right and he could get just about any girl sweating back in the day.

Bruno was a bit of a beast physically.

There cant be many heavies in better shape than anthony joshua either.

I think Froch is always in pretty awesome shape. Low body fat % and good lean muscle.

Kerry hope always impresses me with his physique looks very well conditioned. Don't know how to post images sorry boys.
